Listen boy
Don't want to see you let a
good thing slip away
You know I don't like
watchin' anybody make
the same mistakes I made
She's a real nice girl
And she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you
what you should do
Oh listen boy
I'm sure that you think
You got it all under control
You don't want somebody
tellin' you the way to
stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now
And you'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of
thing she ought to know
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
to accept that you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much
she means
Listen boy
It's not automatically
a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide
communication constantly
When you love someone
You're always insecure
And there's only one good
way to reassure
Tell her about it
Let her know how much
you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish
you were there
Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe
Now and then
She'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't
spoken for so long
Though you may not have
done anything
Will that be a consolation
when she's gone
Oh listen boy
It's good information from a
man who's made mistakes
Just a word or two
That she gets from you
Could be the difference
that it makes
She's a trusting soul
And she's put her trust in you
But a girl like that
Won't tell you what you
should do
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much
she means
Tell her about it
Tell her how you feel right now
Just tell her about it
The girl don't want to
wait too long
Tell her about it
Tell her now and you
won't go wrong
Tell her about it
Before it gets too late
Tell her about it
You know that girl
don't want to wait
